Qualcomm is expanding its product portfolio with a new chip dedicated to smartphones from the lower price range, i.e. the so-called budgeters. However, those who think that it will only be an average mobile system designed to provide devices with a minimum of functionality are wrong. It turns out that Snapdragon 480 5G, because that is the name of the model, will offer support for the “full” 5G standard, significantly increased performance, fast charging support and compatibility with extensive camera functions. It is not sure which devices the chip will go to first, but it looks like Nokia, OnePlus and OPPO smartphones will be. At least that’s what the press release shows.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G is a newly presented mobile chip with find application in cheaper OPPO, OnePlus and Nokia smartphones. Here’s everything we know about him.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 888: Full specs and smartphone list

Qualcomm Snapdragon mobile chip 480 5G is primarily an attempt to popularize the 5G standard in inexpensive mobile devices. The built-in Snapdragon X modem 51 5G is compatible with both Sub-6 GHz and mmWave. In terms of other connectivity standards, we can count on Bluetooth 5.1 and WiFi 6 2×2. The performance will be provided by a platform based on an 8-nanometer technological process with Cortex-A 72 operating at 2 GHz and Cortex-A 55 with a clock speed of 1.8 GHz. It will be supported by Adreno graphics 619 and the Hexagon unit 686 responsible for calculations for artificial intelligence.

The processing of photos and videos will be handled by Spectra 345, which processor will be able to capture images from three cameras simultaneously. Interestingly, the budget chip will allow you to record FHD movies at 120 fps, which may be a harbinger of the appearance of screens with higher image refresh rate. I’m not counting on 120 Hz, but 90 Hz would be advisable in my opinion. Finally, I will only add that Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G supports fast wired charging in the Quick Charge 4+ standard. It remains for us to wait until the SD 480 5G appears on the first devices.
